Setting Up the SVGA Video Driver for a Windows 95 Guest Operating System Booted from a Raw Disk

This section explains how to configure the video driver in a Windows 95 raw disk installation using VMware Workstation. The steps below assume you are using Windows 95 as one of the operating systems in a dual-boot or multiple-boot configuration. Following these steps, you create separate hardware profiles for your virtual machine and your physical machine. For more details on hardware profiles, see Setting Up Hardware Profiles in Virtual Machines.

Boot Windows 95 natively (not in a virtual machine).

Right-click on the My Computer icon on the desktop, then select Properties.

Click the Hardware Profiles tab.

Highlight the Original Configuration profile, then click Copy.

Name the profile Virtual Machine, then click OK.

You may also want to rename the Original Configuration profile to Physical Machine.
